Title: Does the Spectrum DCC run also on DC?
Post by: njsckyusa on February 02, 2010, 08:28:33 AM
I was wondering about the Spectrum HO Train DCC DSH8-40CW CONRAIL 83504.  Does it run duel also on DC?  I have some other brands which do.  I run just DC on my small layout. I was wondering if the Conrail out of the box would run with my DC transformer. Thank you for your help. Njsckyusa.

If it has a factory installed decoder it would run on DC and DCC, just maybe not as well on DCC, but you can easily install jumpers if you do not like how it's performing with a decoder. If it has an aftermarket decoder it would depend on the decoder installed.
